Preface This report covers January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016. Included are a number of activities that are carried out by the Office of Research and Creative Activities (ORCA).
• Reports of Sponsored Programs: Sponsored programs at BYU are those funded by external sources through ORCA. They are largely research projects, but many include programs that are designed to develop or support instructional or service activities. Support for creative activities such as performance, artistic creations, etc., may also come through ORCA.
• Administrative Activities in Support of Research and Creative Activities: ORCA supports several university committees which oversee compliance with university, state, and federal regulations.
• Recognition for Research and Creative Activities: This category includes awards to faculty and students made by ORCA, the Graduate School, and some cooperative efforts involving departments, colleges, and central administration.

Compliance and Certification
There are a number of federal, states, and university regulations which are intended to ensure the safety and well-being of those associated with research and creative activities at academic institutions.1 The Office of Research and Creative Activities specifically supports three university committees and provides other certifications as needed. The following pages contain a record of official actions taken by these committees during the January 2016 through December 2016 time period. In addition to those official actions, the committee—their individual chairs and members—and the staff of ORCA actively reviewed facilities developed and updated policy, and education the university research community on pertinent issues. The following is a brief description of each committee. Their 2016 activities are on subsequent pages. The Institutional Review Board (IRB) determines that risks to human subjects involved in research are “minimized by appropriate safeguards; that risks are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits; informed consent is sought from subjects and documented; and that selection of subjects is equitable and guided by consideration for appropriate safeguards for any subjects likely to be vulnerable to undue influences” (Federal Regulations). At BYU, all research (funded or unfunded) must meet the guidelines and be appropriately reviewed and approved. Since regulations encompass everything from interviews and questionnaires to medical practices, faculty and students should work closely with this committee. The Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) is required by federal regulation and is intended to ensure appropriate housing, care, and humane treatment of animals used in research or other academic activities. It formally approves the maintenance of all such animals for research projects and also reviews any use of laboratory animals on campus. ORCA supports this committee and maintains the university’s “Assurance” status with federal agencies. The “Assurance” document is actually a way of accrediting BYU to maintain and work with laboratory animals. The Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) supervises the use of recombinant DNA and other biological safety and hazard issues at BYU. Such use might involve constructing and handling DNA molecules in organisms. The Institutional BioSafety Committee must review all proposed experiments and approve such in advance of actual work. As with the other committees listed above, IBC has jurisdiction over any recombinant DNA experiments on campus—be they a part of funded or unfunded research or part of instructional activities.
1 Appendix 2 contains a list illustrating the number and kind of regulations with which we must comply.
Annual Report 2016 110
The Institutional Review Board (IRB)
Research involving human subjects requires approval of the university’s IRB committee. This committee works closely with departmental or college communities and administrators. The actions of the IRB committee for 2016 are summarized by the following table.

The Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC)
The Biosafety Committee supervises the use of recombinant DNA and other biological safety and hazard issues within the university to insure that the federal guidelines pertaining to this activity are satisfied. The committee is also responsible for the supervision of all infectious materials used on campus in order to insure that local, state, and federal rules and regulations are understood and observed. There were twenty-four new projects reviewed by the Biosafety Committee during the 2016 year.

Faculty Recognition
Each year the Office of Research and Creative Activities honors one or more faculty who have furthered the progress of research at BYU. Their accomplishments may be in development of their own sponsored research projects or in service to others in support of research. The Technology Transfer Office also selects one or more individuals who have contributed to the process of transferring research results to societal uses. Both awards are presented at the annual Sponsored Research Luncheon. The list below includes the most recent winners as well as the winners of the past three years. This group of past winners works with ORCA in selecting those to be recognized the next year.

2016 ORCA Grant Recipients
This group is selected by a process resembling the faculty pursuit of external research funding. Students prepare proposals for undergraduate research or creative projects and select faculty mentors. Faculty and administrators in each college carefully evaluate all proposals and select those deemed outstanding. The $1,500 student grants and $300 mentor stipends are awarded in winter semester and a report on the work is due within a year.
